ジャーナル フリーMusculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have a multifactorial etiology which is not only associated with physical risk factors, but also psychosocial risk factors. The present study evaluated the effects of psychosocial risk factors on the development of musculoskeletal disorders among the manual material handling workers at both organized and unorganized sectors. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) were used to find out the relationship between the development of MSDs and psychosocial cues. Statistical analysis was done to determine the predominant psychosocial cues responsible in affecting the work performance of manual material handling workers. It is observed that the unorganized group of workers suffered more in musculoskeletal disorders than the organized group of workers and underwent more psychosocial stress than their organized counterparts. Significant differences between organized and unorganized workers have been found in different psychosocial factors like monthly income, quantitative demands, predictability, role conflict, insecurity at work, job satisfaction, behavioural stress and prevalence of MSDs. From the results of the study, it may be concluded that the psychosocial cues like quantitative demands, emotional demands, predictability, role conflict, insecurity at work, job satisfaction, general health and behavioural stress have got a leading role for the development of MSDs in both the organized and unorganized sectors.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (114K) -

ジャーナル フリーThis study investigated how different levels of daily physical activity affect quality of life (QOL) in physically-challenged individuals. To this end, the following physically-challenged individuals were surveyed: members of a gym for people with disabilities who practised sports with the goal of participating in athletic competitions (athletes group), users of a sports centre for people with disabilities who practised sports to make physical activity as part of their life (lifelong sports group), and individuals participating in physical rehabilitation that involved no sports activities (rehabilitation group). Variance analysis was firstly performed to compare the average QOL scores of the three groups analysed. The athletes group scored higher than the other two groups on the physical functioning (PF) subscale. The rehabilitation group scored higher than the athletes group and the lifelong sports group on the bodily pain (BP) subscale. To evaluate how physical activity affects QOL in the three groups surveyed, multiple regression analysis was carried out by using physical activity levels, years of experience, frequency of physical activity, age, gender, disability type, and disability grade as independent variables. The results from this analysis showed that years of experience had a significant impact on the role functioning/physical (RP) and role functioning/emotional (RE) subscales and that physical activity levels had a significant impact on BP and social functioning (SF) subscales (p<0.05). These findings clearly suggest that the levels of daily physical activity and the number of years of experience in physical activity can affect QOL in physically-challenged individuals.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (204K)

ジャーナル フリーNurses have to perform different kinds of patient handling tasks manually in their duty schedules which may lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD). This study aimed to investigate ward-wise variations of WMSD in nurses. The modified Nordic questionnaire was applied on 80 nurses working in four different wards in Indian hospitals. The intensity of pain was rated by the Body Parts Discomfort Scale (BPD) and activity analyses of tasks were performed. Nurses working in the four wards complained about musculoskeletal problems in nine body regions while significant variations were found in the upper back, knees and legs. Time spent in different tasks in strenuous postures differed between wards. The other causative factors were bed height, patients’ body weight, duration of working time as well as non-availability of patient handling aids. Proper job rotation, training for lifting and use of patients handling aids are recommended.抄録全体を表示PDF形式でダウンロード (67K)
